2 Corinthians 10:8-11 For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame. ⁹ I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. ¹⁰ For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is weak, and his speech of no account." ¹¹ Let such people realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
